Regent Theatre

Now Showing: “Madame Curie," starring Greer Garson and Walter Pidgeon. The name combination of Greer Garson and Walter F'idgeon is an assurance of outstanding entertainment and in “Madame Curie” now showing at the Regent Theatre, they ■live up to the standard they set in “Mrs. Miniver” and “Blossoms in The Dust.” Based on Eve Curie’s bestseller biography of her mother, ‘‘Madame Curie” is a love story of great warmth and tenderness, told against the suspenseful background parallel—the discovery of radium, of scientific achievement without Marie and Pierre Curie found the key to one of nature’s most carefully guarded secrets, only because of their devotion for each other. Fame, honours and money meant nothing to them. All they ever wanted was their love and their work, and out of these they gave the world one of its rarest gifts, radium. Miss Garson, as Madame Curie, has a role which brings out in every richly rounded tone the mature artistry of her talents as an actress. Walter Pidgeon’s sometimes whimsically amusing Pierre Curie, is one of the top performances of his career.
